About us

Founded in 2017, we are a leading provider of digital medication adherence platform.

Having won several innovation awards internationally, Popit has been working with several major international pharmaceutical companies to improve adherence for their medication brands.

Popit is located in Finland, home to a plethora of innovative startups and advanced clinical research.

How it started

It started from a real life challenge.

One of Popit’s co-founders, a doctor by profession, witnessed the burden of negative health outcomes and increased costs brought by medication non-adherence throughout his practice.

The initial founders got together and came up with the idea that digitised medication could be a way to improve medication adherence, while also providing valuable insight to the pharmaceutical industry.

This is how Popit was founded, out of the passion to tackle the issue of medication non-adherence and lack of valuable information on medication intake.

Our mission

From analog to digital. We make medication connected.

Our job is to provide simple and easy-to-use universal tools to patients and to offer valuable data to build better healthcare ecosystem. We change the way how we take medications!

Our values

Patients at the core. Without patients who are our ultimate end users, there’s no business for us. We put our feet in patients’ shoes and all else will follow.

Continuous learning. We keep an open mind to learn new things and deepen existing knowledge. Making a mistake is ok but we make sure we learn from it.

Trust. We trust each other and we are empowered to decide how to get sh!t done.

Diversity. Because a diverse team simply performs better. We celebrate our differences and embrace inclusive culture.

Diversity, inclusion and equity at Popit

For creating a workplace where everyone is valued as their authentic selves and can perform at its best

We strive to attract and retain great people from a wide variety of backgrounds, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because it makes our team stronger. We encourage diverse views that enable our employees to bring their true selves to work and reach their full potentials.

We welcome the unique and the best contribution that you can bring regardless of your ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, disability and political inclination.

Furthermore, it is our strategic intent to distinguish ourselves as a leading opportunity provider for women in tech and we will seek out individuals with strong industry-relevant experience. Our goal is to have at least 30% female representation among employees and executives. Our recruitment performance in terms of gender balance will be measured against this goal.
